Worst ways to die... for kids.

This is my new project. I'm planning to write a collection of short stories on the worst ways to die. But written for a young audience 7 - 10, or there abouts.

My thinking behind this is... Kids love the macabre! I've had an interest in death ever since my mum told me at the age of seven that people have been known to wake up in their coffins after they're buried. To my seven year old mind this was a horrifying idea, but one that made me fascinated with how and why people die. I believe we give children to little credit these days, they have the ability to understand death maybe even better than we can and have the right to know the truth about it. After all one day they, like us, will die.

I will post a couple up as I go.

One less window licker on the planet.
